Leopard/Tiger differences with Crossover 6.2.1

Using Crossover 6.2.1, I have Money 2004 successfully installed in a
new win98 bottle, on both a Tiger system (10.4.11, MacBook) and a
Leopard system (10.5.1, new Mac Mini), but depending on the OS there
were differences in the specific installation procedure that worked
for me, so I wanted to share them here.

The upshot, though, is that Money 2004 appears to run as well as with
a previous version of Crossover (6.0?) that I'd tried on Tiger almost
a year ago; as with 6.0, the only complaint is the appearance of those
"%0" strings at the start of every subcategory, but I can live with
them.

Running version 6.2.1 on Tiger, you can pretty much avoid interference
with the Money installer -- basically I just create a new win98
bottle, select "install unsupported software" and allow the Money
installer to run from CD. The Money installer detects that it needs
to first install IE6, Outlook, Windows Media Player, etc., but then
eventually moves on to the Money 2004 system pack and Money 2004
itself. (I think you have to force-quit at the very end of the
process, but otherwise everything is smooth sailing.)

On the Leopard system, these same steps didn't work, but
what finally ended up working was as follows: in Crossover, first
either create a new win98 bottle or just go straight to "Install
supported software into new bottle"; then, at the "Install Software"
screen, select IE6 and go on to the next screen; at the "Select
Installer File" screen, choose the Money CD's SETUP.EXE file and
execute it. This has the effect of tricking Crossover into thinking
that it's installing IE6 alone, but instead you're running the full
Money Installer, which of course first does the IE6 portion but then
moves on to doing all of Money. (Again you may have to force-quit
after Money has installed.)

I have tried to install on my new MacBook Pro OSX 10.5.5 following your advice on Leopard, to no avail. It installs okay, having made a win98 bottle, and used the Money CD's setup.exe, but as soon as you click on a transaction, money needs to restart due to an error.

Does CrossOver work with Tiger 10.4.11? (Dual 2.5 GHz PowerPC G5)
I downloaded the free registration code and got the ∅ over the icon.
"...because it is not supported on this architecture."

CrossOver requires an Intel-based Mac. It does not work with PowerPC Macs. This is because Windows applications are built using the x86 instruction set.

I just installed Money 2004 on Mac Mini Intel Core Duo using Tiger on a Win98 bottle. The problem that I am having is when I try to run Money 2004.

Money starts and I get a pop up window saying that is converting or building the sample money file and after a few seconds I get a windows like window saying that Money has terminated unexpectedly and it has a check box that allows me to restart money if I hit the OK button.

If you restart you keep getting the same messages. I did not get any errors during the install.
Am I missing anything? I downloaded last night the trial version of Crossover.

Thanks,
Antonio

The way that worked for me is not using the IE6 that comes with the Money 2004 cd.

Install the IE6 SP1 from the install apps menu using a win98 bottle (this will download the IE6 SP1 for you). After that install make sure it works, and then to the same bottle install the money 2004 cd.

That is it and I got a perfectly working system. On leopard btw. Using crossover 7.1
